Butte Woman Loses Bid for Liquor License

Sophia Doyle sought a writ of mandate to force the city of Butte to issue a retail liquor license for her hotel at Main and Mercury. District Judge J. J. Lynch dismissed the petition against Mayor Hauswirth and the city council and granted the city’s motion to quash the writ.
